Japan Airlines submitted recurrence prevention measures to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on the 17th in response to a cabin crew drinking problem. After a domestic flight was delayed in May due to drinking that violated operational rules, the measures include self-regulated alcohol restraint and the consolidation of health condition reporting channels. The airline analyzed that its previous ban on drinking at accommodation locations did not lead to a change in awareness, and will introduce self-check education on drinking precautions to encourage self-awareness. It plans to lift the drinking ban at accommodation locations once it determines that the measures have been completed.
